Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] vortexcapitalholdings.com Fake Generic Phishing Alert Analysis of vortexcapitalholdings.com shows a newly registered domain (creation date June 12, 2026) that is currently active and resolves to the IP address 172.67.204.123. The domain is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, as indicated by its authoritative nameservers amber.ns.cloudflare.com and mitchell.ns.cloudflare.com, and was registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. It appears on one security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, suggesting that at least one trusted phishing mitigation source has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal records indicate that the domain has been scanned by 91 security vendors, with none of the vendors flagging it as malicious at the time of the scan; this lack of detections should not be interpreted as evidence of safety, as the domain may employ evasion techniques or have not yet been observed in the wild. No public page title, brand target, or kit information is available, and no additional context such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or Safe Browsing status has been reported, leaving the exact payload or impersonated entity undefined. Defenders should proactively block DNS resolution to vortexcapitalholdings.com and add the associated IP 172.67.204.123 to network‑level deny lists, especially for outbound traffic from sensitive user groups. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s DNS records and any future VirusTotal or blocklist updates is advised, as changes in detection status may indicate active exploitation. Organizations employing email security gateways should ensure that messages containing links to this domain are quarantined or rejected, and incident response teams should be prepared to investigate any credential‑theft attempts that reference the domain. Given the recent registration date and the presence on a phishing blocklist, the domain should be treated as a high‑confidence indicator of compromise until further evidence clarifies its threat scope. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-0EA528 Favicon MD5: 18ad3a67dfcf5c30e0b409f406cd4108 TLS cert SHA-256: 8efc7f618c722ec539f8f408394c8035a7ad2aa553fe25b4b1769de875788877 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vortexcapitalholdings.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vortexcapitalholdings.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
